Yeah, this is the kind of shit you have to put up with when your
time-server source code is 100+ KLOC and has gotten to that size
by "lets just add this feature" methodologies.

My first target is a daemon for clients, that's the most efficient
way to eliminate as many KLOC-executions from the world as possible
as fast as possible.

After that, the intent is to reuse the same components also for
S2+ slave servers, and later again S1 servers.

But the target right here and now is clients only.
